Yes, i agree Xigmatek Asgard Pro has the sleek look and function. I think one reason it's not popular cuz its new Xigmatek product and less advertisement on IT shop. I fortunately found this casing during search in Garage Sales. Xigmatek need more exposure and recomendation.

Hello, please recommend me a case, my budget is RM500 max this is what I'm looking at

500R/600T - Corsair
Trooper/Enforcer/Scout - CM

What I generally need is USB 3.0, prefer with LED, see thru side window, this case will be on the floor so I would prefer to have top I/O panel. Please recommend me other case you deem fit in this criteria, any brand =D

You also can consider Thermaltake Chaser MK-1.

Thermaltake Chaser MK-1 has more point on outlook and side windows.

What your budget? Lian-Li is fully aluminum but the price can cost you an arm.

600T got internal usb 3.0? i thought its external.. hmm.gif

btw, are these casings are able to fit WC radiator at the top part? (replacing the stock fan provided in the package)
*
Sorry, Corsair 600T use external USB 3.0 cable same as Aerocool X-Predator doh.gif . Not sure depend on radiator size...but Bitfenix Colossus window or THERMALTAKE CHASER MK-I sure fit.

CM Storm Trooper Window from Hikari85 can be considered.

Mainly cuz I gave up finding green colour case, the HAF-X Nvidia edition looks good but I'm not sure if it's good for WC.  blush.gif

TBH I really wanted the Switch 810(White version), but I've asked around and it seems ATM distributors don't take in new NZXT products. shakehead.gif  doh.gif
Yea those are hard to find.  sad.gif

I think CytnrixTech already mark HAF X as "friendly water case".

Why they don't upgrade their current line doh.gif (NZXT) in malaysia . Most the case are still USB2.0.

How about entry level casings like CM Elite 430/421, Bitfenix Merc Alpha, Xingmatek Asgard, Thermaltake V3?  blink.gif

Hyper212+ Height about 160mm, standard fan height 25mm, 15mm for clearance = At least the width case must 200mm IMHO.

Choosing between cooler master 311 elite , 431 plus and thermaltake commander msi 2.0

May I know their advantages and disadvantages

From what I understand : 311 elite - moreusb slots , 3.0 , bad air flow

431 plus : 3.0 better looking

Commander : best look, no 3.0 , better air flow
*
Why don't you take THERMALTAKE COMMANDER / USB3.0 @ RM175 from lingloong? Xigmatek Asgard Pro window RM159 come with USB3.0.

Asgard look too plain boring ... So my best choice is commander 3.0?

Not really, Aerocool Strike X One Advance or Aerocool Vs-3 Advance quite okay with internal USB3.0 cable and priced RM139 at cycom.
